Talking Points:
There are dangerous United Nations treaties and a growing body of international law that has been created by unelected foreign bureaucrats. These treaties and international laws would severely restrict parental rights and homeschool freedom if brought into United States law. HSLDA believes that we need to protect the integrity of our judicial system to ensure that courts and judges only use the Constitution and domestic law in their decisions. H.R. 973 would ensure that federal judges could not look to unratified U.N. treaties (like the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child) and international law as precedent in their opinions.
